I got up at 5am today as it was the beginning of bench painting. We met at 6.45 and tomorrow it will be 6.30am. By 9.30am it was too hot to do any more

Today we undercoated half of the benches. This could take some time. It’s also the week when temperatures are to be over 40C for 4 days .

I painted the sides of my new portrait, made enough food for 4 days and chilled as close to the fan as possible for the rest of the day ……until I got a phone call from the optician to say that my new glasses are ready.

After counting the money to pay for them about 4 times. That amount of money makes me nervous I set off to collect them . It was still quite hot at 5pm

I am very pleased with them as comparing them with my old ones I can see better. And they look nice.

Now me and Brutto are sitting outside enjoying not very much wind, but is like an oven inside. Apparently I am not alone in finding this year’s heat a little difficult to deal with. Maybe it’s not old age after all.

Cheers 🍷🍷
